Born in Hawaii in 1890, Duke Kahanamoku's life was intertwined with the ocean from the very beginning. Renowned as a surfing prodigy, Duke's athleticism extended beyond the waves, earning him Olympic gold medals in swimming and international acclaim as a waterman. But it was Duke's heroic actions outside of competition that truly distinguished him. In 1925, Duke's quick thinking and courage saved the lives of eight men when their fishing boat capsized off the coast of Newport Beach, California. Join us in this remarkable episode of heroism.
